Wii Expands On SD Memory Capabilities

With the limited access to the Wii's SD memory capabilities, Nintendo announced that players will be able to download games directly to an SD card beginning in Spring 2009.

Initially, players have to transfer through the Wii's 512mb internal system memory in order to obtain or move downloaded titles from their SD cards. "We have to address the console's insufficient memory storage," said by Nintendo President Satoru Iwata during their press conference in Japan.

Although Iwata did not confirm that Wii users will be able to directly play the downloaded games through the SD card, the feature should be considered possible.
